Bill, To be clear I thought you were talking about MTH models that have Bi-Directional LEDs. Those that do, use a flash code to control them.
If your just talking about adding bi-dir to an engine, John's method can work, though you have an issue of only one direction light on at a time.
So I think what you are going to do is let the FWD light control return for the front LED Green side and the Rear LED Red side, while the REV light controls the Rear Green and FWD Red.
Your just going to have a lot of wires crossing the shell. Not sure why you just don't add the Green and Red like the production. G
